After the Rain...

I had been pretty occupied lately. Just for today, i went to downtown to buy our basic necessities and things that i need. I was actually lazy to go there because of the rain but then i need to get the money that honey pie has sent. He was already getting mad that i didnt get it the other day, it was supposed to be for payment of the pension house that he reserved but then due to heavy rain i believe private establishments were closed at that time. Today i was forced to go there and mind you i was shocked to see a lot of people still on flood and some were rescued by speed boats. On our way home, we could still some residents at the street together with their belongings. Indeed, it was a tragic event for all of us. As my honey pie is telling me, i should left at our place and stay in Cebu. I knew i couldnt stay there because i have my family here. We still dont know when he can fixed his travel here and hopefully as early as possible.

I really need to rest tomorrow because i had been working so hard lately, i had been dealing with deadlines and all stuffs that i believe i need to rest. I knew the stress of the flooding has given me much headache and i hope by tomorrow i could have a good rest. Bear with me friends.

My Flooding Experience

This is the second time so far that i experienced such massive flooding in our area. The last one was way back many years ago where i was still in college and the second time was yesterday. To begin with, it was rainy day when i went to office, i had an overtime because of some things to finish and we had a hard time waiting for a jeep so it took us few minutes before we got a ride. Anyway, when i arrived home i was so wet because of the heavy rain, though i can sense that the water may rise cause of the situation and the amount of rainfall that had been going out lately. But i was still positive that it wont happen, its march and rainy season is way back on December. Unfortunately, i was awaken by a noise at midnight because of some evacues from the neighborhood. We were told by my father to prepare and packed up the things we need just in case the water rise tremendously, and it did in just a few minutes. I wasnt able to sleep that night no matter how sleepy i am and no matter how tired i am, physically. Since theres no way i could rest, i just stayed at the hall which was just infront of the house to have shelter temporarily. i informed my hubby about whats going on and because he was so worried, he called up really lots of times to ensure my safety. He looked for pension houses and hotels that we could possibly shelter but then they were fully booked and some were already too far from my place. Until the following day, he monitors my whereabouts so as to know that i am really doing fine.

I absolutely canot give a word to describe him than a supportive boyfriend. He really didnt left me even in a single minute. I knew how busy he was but then he sets aside his work just to be with me regardless of the distance. There were times that we argued, and there were hours that i ry of desperation by which he comforst me by all means. Today was a new day to all of us, no floods anymore, no muds and no worries, at least. But then, this is a day which i could thank no less to my honey pie. Thank you for everything, for the support, for the care, for the patience and for every inch of the way that you become and became visible in joy and in my life's pain. I love you i all aspect of love and i hope to see you really soon.

We Were Flooded

It was shocking, it just came so easily that we didnt noticed that its already at our doorsteps. Thats how fast the flood goes to our home. It was in the mid of night that people seems to feel panicked because of the heavy rain. The water outside seems to be increasing and we just thought it was just an ordinary rain. My mom who had been listening to the radio told us that our neighboring towns we're already flooded and that some roads where no longer passable. If i am not mistaken it was just a one day non stop rain and thats how bad it goes. Anyway, i do hope that water will subsides the soonest.

Home Improvement

If money is no problem i really want to do some extensive renovations at home. I wanted to change our paintings, put more divisions at our kitchen, remodel our house and of course put a decent flooring. I always dream of having a comfortable home but then as of now there are some priorities that needs to be taken first before that. I understand that all of us dreams to have a wide spaced home, a car and even a house that could can be proud of. If i can do some improvements by now, it woudl probably be Tile flooring because i always admire a floor whic is tiled cause it brings a different glow into the eyes. Its clean and gives visitors an appreciation and admiration to the house. As of now, its a priority that hopefully can be done real soon. When i visited my friends house, ive seen how their flooring was made. It was tiled and the color is just right to colors of their walls. I love to pick light colors cause it will give a feeling of serinity to the home. Well, how soon could i do the renovation, is that very soon? Time could tell and my finances. So far, i still need to save for my sisters review, in time everything will be at the right place hopefully.

With Flying Colors

We'e been tagged as twins for quite sometimes now because according to some friends we have some similarity. No wonder, we can be looked alike because most of the time we've been together. Sharing laughters, nonsense stories, exchange of thoughts and of heartaches most of the time. She's all ive had and its only me that she has in terms of companion, bestfriend and a sister. We've gone through a lot and our family's journey was never been the best nor a path of bed of roses. We are also the typical family who underwent trials, tribulations and name it, we've been through it. We've been through the eyes of judgemental people, we heard the most painful insult, we've gone through the worst trials a family could ever had, but we went through all of this through prayer. The solid relationship that our family has was the only arm that we knew to combat people who wanted us down. We were still so young when our family faced a lot of trials. For one, my father decided to leave his high paying job because of management conflict, my mom faced painful trials and suddenly we became the center of peoples insults, judgement and everything they could ever imagined and tagged with our family. As young children, we couldnt do otherwise but to just swallow all those painful words but our father has never get tired of reminding us to be humble always. I coundt remember of a day we never prayed as family.

The financial crises we faced was so terrible that it came to a point that we coudnt pay even our electril bill just to pay our tuition fees. We never mind anymore our neighborhoods hearsay about us because we wanted to finish our studies, in all means. Good thing, my brother graduated and had easily look for a job. He was the one who financed the schooling of my younger brother while i was a scholar in my college years. After quite sometime, i graduated too from bachelor degree and i managed to be one of the cream of the crop of the graduating class and soon find a job too. In God's mercy, my younger brother has finished his management degree and is now looking for a job.

This year, its our younger sister's turn. After 5 years of studying, she has now reached her final destination in her degree ( Bachelor of Science in Accountancy). And just lats night, she informed us that she is one of the cumlaude of the class. The family was really in deep joy cause its no easy to be one and we felt so proud that she is part fo our family. My tatay was really overjoy and cried when he heard the news coz finally, his duty as parents has come to an end and he fullfill it with flying colors. No amount of words could ever described the sacrificed he gave to us and to our family. The times he would do all the part time jobs just to meet both ends. The days we would just choose to live with no electricity because the tuition fees are more important and now it's time to reap the fruit of hard earned labor. My parents dont have any resources or inheritance that they could have from their parents. They only have us as their wealth and im proud of the fact that we've been the best daughters and sons to them as they are the most treasured parents for us.

I certainly believe that your family is your basic support system and its all that you have. In joy and in pain, they will just be the people who will remain constant in loving you and in taking good care of you. My family maynot be the best in the world, my parents may not be as good as the rest, my sisters and brothers may have some unkind deeds for sometimes but at the end of the day they are the people i will love, i will treasure and will forever be priceless untl the end of time.

Whats Wrong?

I dont know whats wrong with inpostlinks. I just reserved an opps from them and the standard says that i have at least 6 hours before it will finally expired. Unluckily when i check it out, its no longer in my reserved area. I am just wondering why is it happening, are they facing system breakdown right now? This is the second time i encounter such mess. I really want to leave a customer feedback but i still have no time for noe, Do you encounter such things too? So how would you exactly know if it is really a qualified opp and not just a system mess. WEll, i trust inpostlinks and i knew these are just few mess but i do hope they can settle this real soon. Do have same experience with me?

Enough...Finally

When can you say enough is really enough? When can you finally decide to cut the string? When you feel its finally so painful that being there or to continue doing it will really break your heart. I guess i haven't shared with you guys the story of my friend, who had fell in love, get pregnant but faced separation. The guys was her first love so all the fantasy's of a happy ending story was all she imagined. Until she came faced to faced with the sad reality, that life is not a fairy tale book, that life is also cruel, a bit. She found out that the guy he loved most is in love with somebody else and he choose to leave her to be with that girl. The heartaches she faced was fatal, i was really there when she was dying to death and even attempted to commit suicide but prayer has enlighten her. We advised her to attend recollections and to pray often. And now, she was finally healed. After a year, she choose to lived life with her son separately and leave the memories behind. After a year, she met a lawyer from Australia and the man married her and they stayed at Australia for good. This things are quite different from what we want and what we expects in life but one thing is sure, God has marvelous plans for us, when you choose to give up, its by way of saying - you are open for something better.

Japan's Quake

The whole world had seen a real time disaster that gave us a new picture of what tragedy is all about. Some may have seen devastating photos of the 8.9 eartquake while others may had been watching in their respective television while waiting for updates for tsunamis or somehow by after shocks of the moster quake. While some of us were lucky that we were safe from that disaster but people from other parts of world are in deel pain for lost of some lives and homes. I was able to see footage of the devastating earthquake and i have seen at CNN how tsunamis reached the coastal town of one of Japan's town. I was in awe because in just a minute, the floods had reached the city and after an hour, the place turned to be a muddy and messy place far from its original picture. There were cars bumping from each other, boats who hit the bridge while they were being carried away by running watre and of course people looking for rescue, raising whitel cloth to signals rescuers that they need help. I personally feel pity to the current scenario of japan, the once powerful nation has suddenly changed its fate, in just a second.

Let us all pray for the people who were hit by the earhquake and also for the past recovery of Japan. In this battle, theres no strong arm than prayer - to heal the people and to guide us and protect us from all disasters and tragedys.

The Funeral

I just arrived from Kim's funeral which was scheduled this afternoon. It was well attended by friends, relatives and collegues of Kim. There was a power point presentation which was indeed made the crowd cry. All of the dearest people of KIm had the chance to talk and everyone shared their memories with my friend. But my heart was really so touched when Kim's bf talked and shared their wonderful memories. It was the time i realized that there is still one person in this world who has serious intentions towards their girlfiend. Ive thought that boys are not that showy in terms of their love and affection to the people they loved but i was wrong coz he cried in front of us and tell the whole world that he loved Kim so much and that his world revolves around her. I was touched of their relationship and how death came to separate them. Indeed, this journey is not unlimited unlike texts and calls in the mobile world. Coz our journey is set by the time God wants us to be here and the missions we are here for. Kim;s mission in this wolrd may already been fulfilled but the people she touched when she was still alive, still remains at their heart, our heart and the heart of the people she once had.

We will miss you Kim and May you rest in peace.

Lottery

Im sure everyone wants to win a lotto,right? In fact almost all of us here dreams to win the lottery and buy the world. Yes, thata how exaggerated our aspirations are but indeed if destiny permits us to become a millionaire someday, then im sure we will be one of the luckiest person in this world. Ive known such lucky person who happens to win the lottery for quite a few times. He was indeed so lucky that it was not only once but three times that he was able to win large bucks and became instant millionaire. Im sure some would question why most of us would want to have an instant money, and who woundt perhaps? The financial crises that the world is facing maybe is the core reason why people just wanted to bet in this game than look for a job. But dont worry youre bet will never turn into waste because national lottery tickets are regulated by proper authorities and rest assured that they draw the game fairly. Its not a new issue anymore as to questioning the credibility of the game draw but this time lets be assured that there are certain standards and regulations that are set so come up with fair-squared game. Now did u bet today? i hope you did, coz maybe tomorrow,its another day and its your most lucky day. Goodluck gamers.
